MQTT seems to be still growing as a favorite light-weight data transport for industrial data. HiveMQ , whom I had a chance to chat with briefly at the Inductive Automation ICC event in September, has released a new MQTT product. HiveMQ Data Hub, an integrated policy engine within the HiveMQ broker designed to enforce data integrity and quality, helps to detect and manage distributed data and misbehaving MQTT clients with the ability to validate, standardize, and manipulate data in motion.

I don’t do “Top 10 Trends for Next Year” articles. I find them worthless. I do observe and ask questions. Part of these questions were spurred by these two news items about Arduino , that open source inexpensive hardware platform. I also have a news item following about a similar technology—the Raspberry Pi. Consider these hardware platforms. Consider also that many new engineers will be entering the industry with the wish to use tools such as Python and NodeRED.
